It's the Holiday Season...

So whoop-de-doo, and dickory-dock, and don't forget to hang up your sock
'Cause just exactly at twelve o'clock, he'll be coming down the chimney, yeah!

That is a mere sampling of the AWFUL music James and I were subjected to when we worked at Sears. If they weren't playing the stupidest music ever, than they were playing the same "classic" songs over and over, only different versions which were also varying degrees of terrible. For 3 holiday seasons. How desperate were we? Oh yes, very.

Anyway, a couple items of business this fine first day of December. I am ready to start getting my Christmas on, so I would love to have your addresses (yes even you). I am making a big transition this year from sending cards to family and friends of my family growing up to family and our actual friends. Before now there really hasn't been a good stock of out-of-town friends to compel me to send out cards (no offense to anyone). But now it seems like there are tons of people, especially through our blogging ties, who I would like to send a card to. So, copying so many others, please either e-mail us your address or leave it as a comment on this post if you want to get a card from us. Then don't forget to check your mailbox every day between December 16 and New Years! I'm being realistic, people.

This morning we woke up to the sound of snow shovels! It snowed - a bunch. And continued to snow until just before dark. We ended up with about 5 inches. All day long Zoe would climb up on the coffee table to look out the window. She said "no-een aside" (snowing outside) so many times it almost stopped being cute. We took her out in it and she wasn't quite as excited. She was a little scared to walk in it but then Garth came over to play for a while and she got over it. The snow was super sticky so we got some cool shots of it on our tree. What a great way to kick off December!
